Seeing as quite a few team rating threads have popped up, I've decided to re-open the rating center from the last forum. If anybody has a team they would like to have rated, post it here, and don't start a new thread for it. Any new "rate my team" threads will be deleted, and a PM will be sent to the poster telling him/her to re-post the team in this thread.

In order to avoid one big mess of a thread, there is a limited amount of raters who will rate the teams here. I must insist that only people on the rating team (or people with special permission, like the Elite Four) will be able to rate the teams here.

NOTE: The Elite Four have special permission to rate the teams here as well, even though they're not officially on the list. This is merely out of respect for them, and because they are so leet.

I would also like to make it clear that we do not give out movesets just like that. We recommend and would prefer if everyone try their best at putting together a team and movesets, before they post on this thread. Any "here are my Pokemon, give me movesets for them" threads will be ignored.

For further reference, the following is a link to a thread of a list of all the standard movesets for all the Pokemon, compiled by papersun and sN0wBaLL: Standard Movesets Guide.

Post away!

A few things added Dec 30:

Lately, there have been a few misunderstandings about posting teams in general. To try to ease this up, there are now a few guidelines about it (below). Just remember, these are not rules, these are merely "suggestions" from raters that would significantly ease our jobs.

1. Preferred format: Some people have different styles for putting a moveset into words than other people do, but it should at least be easy enough to understand from the viewpoint of the rater. They should be evenly spaced with new lines for each move and a break between Pokemon. Also, please do not use any color. Here is an extremely basic outline of this:

Pokemon
Move
Move
Move
Move

Pokemon
(etc)

2. Required and optional data: What is required for a team is really only the data shown in the above format; there is nothing else required. Most people like posting natures, items, abilities anyway, and that's just fine. The more data you can supply, the better. Some things that we really don't need, and they don't actually help us much anyway, are the Pokemon's stats. EVs are optional, providing that some people may not know what they are. What the team is to be used for is also optional (like the game version or if it would be used for the battle frontier), but if you want something very special, you'll need to specify. Similar to that, if you lack the ability to get a few moves on a Pokemon (TMs, Tutors), it would help if you said something about that. It's not our fault if we don't give you what you want because you didn't say anything. And related to that, if we don't give you what you want in general, there are so many other resources on the site and forums that it would be pointless to post them all.

3. Asking for extra suggestions or filling in the blanks and etc: Leaving a "?" in a moveset is perfectly fine. Leaving a Pokemon with a "?" for every category is also fine, but it is easier if you actually have an idea of what to do for the Pokemon, too. This should be similar to a question about what Pokemon you could add to complete your team. Just give us an idea, and that helps immensely. As mentioned, we have all those resources, and they should not be ignored.

4. Posting teams without movesets: As mentioned in the first part of this post, we don't give movesets (again, refer to the site, etc). This is similar to the above question, too, but it's a little more extreme. As of late, raters have just been supplying basic things about types and stuff. It's okay now, just don't expect us to actually give you too much detail if you don't likewise.

Credit goes to Nido for the first post. I'll be deleting the old thread on May 5th 2007. Please be aware of this date, and save any ratings you still need. The raters haven't changed from the old rating center, and this will continue like the old one did.

Bluestrike. You may wat a special sponge (blissey) or a stat uper physical sweeper. Curser Snorlax or Dragon dancer Dragonite/Tyranitar are good options. Gengar is a good adition to many teams since most people dont expect someone to have 2 ghosts. And this thing makes a free switch in into a lot of things (EQ, return, megahorn, focus punch, brick break, sludge bomb, toxicers, etc).

about staryu, i needed a water type so i picked starmie but im training it atm, i need a good move set etc for him but i was thinking about teaching him t-bolt since i took out raikou (i dont legends much)

again this is the pokemon i got rid of raikou for , i need a good moveset and etc or. if i shouldn't use this guy and use raikou (or another electric pokemon tell me)buti think i can use absol
i was thinking like this
Ariel Ace
T-bolt
f-thrower
return < you gotta love it

I think you'll have guessed my plan is just brute force...no stat bonuses or reductions...All are raised from lvl 5

This is known as Elemence. I'd like to bring to your attention why this is probably one of the bigger follys in Pokemon history:
1.) Hydro Pump has horrible accuracy
2.) This hits barely anyone (dragons, steels, grasses, psychic, ghosts). Thats about it
3.) The attack stat > special attack stat.
4.) It fails to get t-bolt or ice beam, critical moves on most special sweepers.

This is as ood as it gets. This is about every single special move her gets. Please choose wisely.

Heracross
Megahorn
brick break
reversal
take down > double edge
Endure > Take down. If this is in-game (no salac berry), this is sort of outclassed by other heracross versions (bulk up, swords dance, or choice banders).

Sairam: Off course you should keep EQ there for the awsome type coverage and power. Can't you clon the EQ TM???? (otherwise ask someone to clone it for you ) However Salamence's base speed is 100, so after one dragon dance is faster than everything. That means you dont need 252 speed, those EV would be better placed in HP. And you want an adamant nature there for the same reason.

Items for metagross/tyranitar are shell bell, lefties or lums. And the movesets are very good, same as the EVs.

---Sunny BOOM Team--- So you are basing your strategy on the sun???. Well seeing as groundom is your only way to summon sunlight, your team will fail as soon as kyogre/tyranitar comes out...and those are really overused pokemon in this legendary metagame.

Calm mind > Protect. And you may want to trhow recover in there instead of something (otherwise blissey and other calm minders will beat you one on one). I would suggest puting it instead of SB, but is up to you, seeing as this is a sun abuser team.

Bold???? Ughhhh ...Adamant would have been better. However HP bug/Overheat/Rest/Return > Protect. Some people would out sword dance over bulk up since your defence is already very high..and you wont be taking a lot of physical hits anyway.

So yeah, I understand why do you want protect there, but a skilled player will usually predict those and use them as a free turn. If you put a ghost in your team then you can just send it out whenever one of your pokemon wants to blow up..

garabato I have 2 EQ TM's but dont want to use them so would a CB set work out?
@Lefties
Adamant/Jolly
252Atk 252Spd 6HP
EQ
Rock Slide
Aerial Ace
Brick Break/Steel Wing

Since I'm a begginer when it comes to the CB how about the Flincher Set(got the idea from Battle Factory)
@King's Rock
252Atk 129Spd 129HP
DD
Rock Slide
Headbutt
Aerial Ace

Do you have cloning acces??? Because that really helps out with the lack of EQ (being the best TM abd stuff...) I know that you dont like cheating but Glitch =/= Cheat. The game programers made a mistake and you are just abusing it .

And yes, a choice bander set for Salamance really works out very good, dont change the EV spread if then.

The flinching set indeed, is fun to use, you could try it out. However EQ is necesary in there too. Good EV spread.
